Monday Mail Mayhem

Well my DL finished last night. you know that 1.7 gb Anon uploaded of the DOJ. But I was told I needed WinRar to open the file, but winrar cant do anything with it. Has anyone opened this file? and what did you use?
this is the file properties Ive never seen a file type just called 'file' did the download get corrupt during the dl?

I have 13 minutes left on the download. I will see if 7 zip will open it and report back..

7zip opens it to this..
I will have a browse for a program to open it. Thanks Woogleuk, I wont bother then.

Already an ongoing thread ( www.abovetopsecret.com... ), but for the record 7zip will extract the lot, the rar, the tar and the .war.

My advice is don't bother, it is just crime statistics and you cannot delete it once extracted under windows, I had to boot into Linux to get rid of the extracted files.

# that sounds fishy then like something the gov would upload and then run something that checks your pc to see if youve extracted that stuff.. thx for the heads up

No it's ok in that sense, it wasn't because it was running a process, windows just couldn't handle the way the files were placed on the hard drive.

just move the folders that gets you "cant delete" errors to the desktop. then it can be deleted without problems

It's not just directory length issues, I'm thinking the directory dump came from an encrypted UNIX/Linux server, the files themselves could not be renamed or moved, I have a dual boot on my system so it wasn't a big issue, however others may struggle unless they get a live CD or do an install.
